BlockDAG Hits $376M Presale Milestone With 2.5M X1 App Users

BlockDAG (BDAG) has positioned itself as a leading contender in the Layer-1 blockchain space, raising over $376 million in its presale and distributing 25 billion BDAG tokens to date. The project has launched a fully functional testnet, a critical step that sets it apart from many other blockchain initiatives still reliant on untested promises. With over 200,000 token holders and 2.5 million users on its X1 mobile mining app, BlockDAG is demonstrating early traction that aligns with its ambitious roadmap [1].

One of the project’s most compelling features is its hybrid architecture, which merges the scalability benefits of a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) with the security of Proof-of-Work (PoW). This design enables high-speed, decentralized transactions, potentially appealing to DeFi platforms, NFT ecosystems, and enterprise applications. Additionally, the integration of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) allows for the seamless migration of Ethereum-based smart contracts and dApps, reducing development barriers for third-party projects [1].

The X1 mobile mining app, which facilitates token generation and user engagement, has been downloaded by 2.5 million users globally. Simultaneously, over 4,500 developers are actively working within the BlockDAG ecosystem, with more than 300 dApps ready to launch upon the mainnet’s activation. These figures suggest a growing and engaged community that is investing time and resources into the platform before its official launch [1].

The presale is now in its 29th batch, with the current price at $0.0276 per BDAG. Early investors from the first batch, which offered tokens at $0.001, have seen a projected 2,660% return on investment. The presale’s momentum has surpassed the $350 million threshold achieved by Avalanche before its mainnet launch, and the project is on track to potentially reach $600 million [1].

BlockDAG has also completed security audits with Halborn and CertiK, further validating its technical and institutional credibility. A primordial testnet is already active, featuring smart contract support, a blockchain explorer, and a faucet for developers. These tools allow real-world testing of dApps, positioning the project ahead of many competitors in terms of readiness [1].

With the mainnet launch imminent—within weeks of finalizing the presale—BlockDAG is set to activate its dApp marketplace, scale mining operations, and introduce governance mechanisms. The capital raised will support liquidity, developer incentives, and global expansion. However, the true challenge lies in the post-launch phase, where the network must maintain performance, reliability, and real-world adoption beyond speculative interest [1].

The ecosystem’s current momentum, technical readiness, and hybrid design place BlockDAG in a unique position within the Layer-1 space. If the trend continues, it could establish a significant presence in the blockchain industry, potentially competing with more established chains. The combination of a live testnet, strong community growth, and a well-executed presale makes BlockDAG a compelling opportunity for investors seeking a project with both short-term gains and long-term utility.
